She has published three themed collections of short stories," Stocking Fillers", "Marry in Haste" and "Quick Change". She publishes a new collection every year. Her stories also feature in many anthologies and she has performed them at many spoken word events including the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Evesham Festival of Words andStroud Short Stories.

She is founder and director of the Hawkesbury Upton Literature Festival, a regular guest on BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Book Club and often appears on other regional and community radio stations.

Nelson’s works are largely described as suspenseful, but frequently incorporate components of fantasy, science fiction, and humour.

Interestingly Nelson injects realism into his work themed with elements of self-destruction and addiction, the world with which he is familiar after struggling for several years with his own demons. In the interview, Nelson is refreshingly open, honest, and he says that his books are a means of an apology to those that he has hurt over the years.

Nelson’s first novel, Full Breach, was the first nail-biting thriller in The Blue Warp series, released in 2017. Drawing on America's love affair with thriller and suspense novels, Full Breach delves into the pathology of our innate nature.

A native of Michigan, Nelson was born in Detroit and spent his formative years in Kalamazoo. Years later, his family moved to Phoenix Arizona where he attended high school. He’s now settled in the Greater Boston area of the USA with his family.
